Cops: Man allegedly bit off piece of best bud's ear ... "just a small piece"

A lot of folks have been doing so lately, like this Port St. Lucie man.

Kenneth Thompson told Port St. Lucie cops that he had thought that his best bud was trying to "get into the pants" of his female roommate. Thompson also told cops that during a tussle between the two men "he bit down and twisted his teeth until a piece of ear came off," then added "Just a 'small piece," according to an arrest affidavit, reports Will Greenlee in his Off the Beat blog for TCPalm.com in Stuart.

The 26-year-old man then said he spit it out and put it in a coffee cup in the fridge because the cup had creamer in it and he "had heard that if you lose a tooth you should keep it in creamer," according to the report.
